@David Ted Hren Until you become licensed, can you just draft some kind of "project management" agreement or something to that effect with your client?

I think your plan is sound as well.For the distressed 2-flat, would you fix it up and then move into it?

This way, you can manage leads effectively while still benefiting from Airbnb's translation feature when needed.Tech stacks can vary based on your preferences and the types of guests you host.

It seems like many in CA are still unaware of what’s coming this July, 2024, CA AB 968 goes into effect.  

Looks like a good opportunity, but if it sounds too good to be true - then it's probably Hometown Buyers Club lol.

I now have a $0 transaction which looks odd.Option 2) Keep the original expense for the previous year, but add the refund for this year as income.This sounds cleaner, but I’m not sure how the refund should be categorized.

Sounds like you already have your answer that you need a permit, probably due to the balcony being a certain distance off the ground/ a safety concern. 

However while it sounds like your CU has an appetite for helping you do 100% levered financing you should do as many as you can before they come to their senses :)..

@Soroush Akbarzadeh sounds like you need a new CPA.

Sounds like Fannie Mae made improvements to the home but after their due diligence did not want to put any more money into the home.
